LAS 495 - French Kiss: Ideas of Love from the Middle Ages to the Present

3 hours
From its earliest exemplars, French literature has been preoccupied with the question of love. Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics will ground our analysis of the ethics of love in the French tradition, from Arthurian romance narratives and medieval codes of courtly love to contemporary francophone fiction. Topics and genres may include renaissance poetry, classical conceptions of love and honor, romanticism, the realist novel, surrealism, nouveau roman, postmodernism, and autobiographical fiction.
